Issuing purchase orders

lanemark

We have recently changed to V5 of Navision. Historically on all purchase orders we print a copy and have the order signed by a director, this then sent to the vendor via fax and we keep a copy of the fax transmital as proof that the vendor has received it.
This all takes time (and paper), how do all you guys handle purchase orders, we have V5 which has the new authorisation module that I have not tried yet, but is this the best way, or can we electronically attach a signature?

We had the same issue with one of our clients.
The director only was authorised to approve the Purchase Order, and no one else.
We designed the PO report over which the scanned signatures of Director were printed.
A function was provided only to the director which made a boolean (called "Approved") = true, and further the PO was uneditable for any entity.
Only once the PO was approved, a printout could be taken.
